This video features a winner of the Pitch Competition in the Category Emerging Talents (Falling Walls Lab), Harry Wilton-Clark (third place), who presented on 9 November 2025 at the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin.
Harry Wilton-Clark has designed small molecules that act as genetic “band-aids,” concealing disease-causing mutations to restore healthy gene expression. Collaborating with a young patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, his work represents a significant step forward in precision medicine and the development of patient-specific therapies for rare diseases.
Harry Wilton-Clark is an MD/PhD student from Edmonton, Canada, in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Alberta. His work is centred on the development of splice-modulating precision therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, focusing on mutations that currently have no effective treatments available for patients.
